>In your valid code, make a local copy of the form's .PageTurn property and then reset this property to 0. If the valid() is successful, 'move' in the specified direction as specified by the local copy of the form's .PageTurn property. If the valid fails, remain in the control so the user can resolve the problem.

Even easier - the .PageTurn property could have an Assign method, so it would react immediately, and it could also check to see if it's allowed to react now or should it wait.
